Consultation information

As part of early planning for the LTP, we carried out a pre-engagement consultation in 2023 to understand our community's priorities for the next 10 years.

See the pre-consultation engagement report

We used the pre-engagement information to guide the development of our draft Long-Term Plan 2024-34. We then formally consulted on the proposals for our district in April and May 2024. This was done through our consultation document, 'Your Future Selwyn', which set out our proposals and budget for 2024-34.

The projects in 24/25, 25/26, and 26/27 in the LTP 24-34 have been reconsidered per council’s 13 Nov 2024 meeting and many have been deferred due to changes in NZTA funding allocation.
